Society demands a move toward decarbonisation: Shell CEO

13/02/2019|16min

Shell CEO Zoe Yujnovich has called for leadership in the energy sector following the findings of the banking royal commission, claiming a societal shift towards cleaner energy is influencing politics and courtrooms.
Last week, a judge ruled the Rocky Hill coal mine in NSW’s Hunter Valley could not proceed because it would contribute to climate change and put the Paris Agreement at risk.
Ms Yujnovich says it's important to highlight the merits of the Rocky Hill coal mine and to allow facts about coal to speak for themselves, but notes societal pressures for immediate decarbonisation need to be acknowledged.
